The service is run through an app that gives full information of costs and expenditure when renting, and security for the car owners.

Tar app gives full transparency through owners and renters rating, making sure the experience is safe and satisfying for both parties involved.

Problem

Studies show that a private car stands around unused for an average of 23 hours per day. The emission a car release during its entire life span is to a large degree caused in the production process. Therefore, there is a need for more efficient use of cars. 

Solution

The concept of car sharing is growing across Europe. Nabobil is a digital platform/app that facilitates car sharing between peers. Through the app you can register as a a car owner or you can look for available cars in your neighborhood. Through the app, both peers will have an overview of the car and expenditures related to the ride such as traffic tolls. Because many cars have advanced technology often you can use the app directly to open the car.

Outcome

With Nabobil you can find a wide variety of cars that suits your individual needs. That being a 4x4 for the weekends trip to the mountain or an electric vehicle to pick up some orders. For renters it means you don’t need to worry about repairs, safety inspection, vehicle tax or tire changes. For owners, they can earn some extra money from the time their car would otherwise be parked.

Further, car sharing can reduce the number of produced cars, thus reducing material extraction and CO2 emissions. Car sharing might also reduce cars in the cities and thereby reduce congestion, the need for parking spaces and have positive effects on air quality.
